What does PLUCK mean in Scrabble?
verb
To pull something out or off with a quick, sharp movement.
Plucking usually means removing something firmly attached, such as pulling feathers from a bird, picking a ripe fruit from a branch, or lifting a single thread from a piece of fabric. The action is typically quick and deliberate, distinguishing it from a slow, gradual removal. Pluck also extends to playing certain instruments, where a string is pulled and released rather than bowed, as with a guitar or harp. Beyond its literal sense, pluck as a noun describes courage or spirited determination, a meaning that grew from the idea of having the nerve to seize something firmly.
